Not even close, C big time the winner.

Every single vehicle running in the USA has several cpus running 20 
million to 30 million lines of C code.

Every single Android cell phone has a Linux operating system written in 
C.  Every single Apple cell phone has an iOS operating system written in C.

All Microsoft operating systems are written in C.  All Apple PC 
operating systems are written in C.  Linux is written in C.  Unix is 
written in C.  Etc, etc, etc.
